Fodor's Expert Review Alpine Lodge
Main Rd., St. Arnaud, Tasman, 7072, New Zealand
This might be a European alpine-inspired lodge, but the view out the window is all Kiwi—wetlands, forest, and mountains. Accommodations run from hotel rooms and two-bedroom, self-contained apartments to backpacker dorms that include some private rooms. A few two-bedroom apartments are good for families. It's set in the center of the little village a short bushwalk away from Lake Rotoiti. The lodge bar and bistro restaurant offer a good range of Kiwi fare.
PROS
- nice backcountry lodge ambience
- the bushwalks are beautiful
- varied, wholesome menu selection
CONS
- bring repellent for the sand flies
- restaurant closed July through October
- a bit of a long walk to some rooms
